advent calendar

One of the projects I started (while staying at the cabin for the weekend) was this advent calendar for my husband & I. This marks our first Christmas in our new house, so I wanted to start a new tradition.This is so simple to make - if you are looking to make one last minute, try this out.Basic supplies-25 tags (large)-25 mini glassine bags (to make pockets.)-Cork Board + fabric (I used red burlap)-Glue + Glitter (to write numbers. Or use a pretty pen)-Pins or tacks

Assembly-Write numbers on tags-Glue on glassine "pockets"-Find a corkboard around the house-Cut fabric to size, tack to each corner of corkboard-Arrange tags on board-Make/gather items to put in each pocket

I did items for the odd numbers & Q was responsible for the even's, so each day will be a surprise for one of us. We did items like candy, clues about Christmas gifts, Bible verses, ideas for holiday-related activities (ice skating, making cookies), and fun little notes to each other.
